I ended up calling Calobre from a script located on SD Card. It's not elegant, but at least opens the software without issues

Code:

myusername@penguin:/mnt/chromeos/removable/SdCard$ sh ./bin/run_cal.sh

And the script is below. Just trying to maintain a metadata.db on a location where its has no problem with permissions, and each time copy existing file back to the library location in case I need to powerwash the device and start over.

Code:

DBPATH=./Calibre
MDBLOC=/home/myusername/metadata_sd.db
if [ ! -f $MDBLOC ]; then
    cp -T --force $DBPATH/metadata.db $MDBLOC
fi

if [ -f $MDBLOC ]; then
    cp -T --force $MDBLOC $DBPATH/metadata.db
fi

export CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH=$MDBLOC

QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=1 nohup calibre --with-library $MDBLOC
